With your nger, gently open the door. Insert
battery and close the door. Your FocusEar
System is equipped with a power on delay;
you will be given several seconds to seat the
device comfortably in your ear before it turns
on.
When placing the battery in your FocusEar
System, be sure to position the positive (+)
symbol on the side of the battery to line
up with the positive (+) symbol or color dot
shown on the battery door.
CAUTION: Batteries are dangerous if swallowed! Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason - they are easily swallowed. In the event a
battery has been swallowed, seek immediate medical attention. For more information call the

Inserting Your FocusEar
Step
1
Powering your FocusEar
Before inserting, make sure the battery door is closed properly and the microphone
port is at the top of your ear and pull string is at the bottom (Fig. B). To insert your
instrument, hold it with your thumb and index nger (Fig. C). Gently push the instrument
into your ear until it sits comfortably in your canal (Fig. D).
To ease insertion, you may wish to pull up slightly on the top of your ear with your other
hand as you push the hearing instrument into your ear.
NOTE: Some irritation may occur due to becoming accustomed to wearing a new
hearing instrument. If swelling or redness occurs, discontinue use and visit your
Doctor.

left ear.
Volume Adjustment
The volume control trimmer can be set to any desired
volume level using the plastic screwdriver provided.
For many people, the default position will be sufcient
(middle). You will only need to make this adjustment
once or twice, because this sets the amount of vol-
ume for all situations (ITE 1) and modes (ITE 2).
• When you place FocusEar in your ear after placing the battery, if you feel the volume is too soft,
rotate the volume control clockwise in small increments until you are satised.
• When you place FocusEar in your ear after placing the battery, if you feel the volume is too loud
rotate the volume control counter-clockwise in small increments until you are satised.
• The black dot is the loudest (12 O’clock).
• The red dot is the softest (5 O’clock).
PLEASE NOTE: Rotate only to the BLACK DOT or RED DOT in the direction shown. If you
try to rotate beyond the volume control range you will damage the volume control.
The Mode button provides four modes which are used to enhance your listening
experience based on your listening situation, see list below.
• FocusEar starts in mode 1 whenever it is rst turned on.
• To switch FocusEar to mode 2, push the mode button once, you will hear two
beeps, which indicates mode 2.
• You repeat the above step for modes 3 & 4.
• When you are in mode 4, pressing the mode button, you will hear one beep which
then brings you back to mode 1.
